Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Climate Change Adaptive Science Capacity - Great Plains Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GPLCC) Fiscal Year 2010," was issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (listed under Migratory Birds) to fund applied conservation science projects focused on fish, wildlife, and/or plants across the Great Plains Geographic Area. The central purpose is to support scientific work that can directly inform real-world resource management decisions, especially decisions dealing with large, landscape-scale stressors that affect species and habitats throughout the Great Plains. The work is intended to align with the mission of the Great Plains Landscape Conservation Cooperative, an applied conservation science partnership, and applicants were pointed to existing GPLCC planning materials (including a map of the geographic area and a preliminary action plan) to help shape project ideas around identified regional priorities.
A key theme of the announcement is urgency and near-term usability. The GPLCC had only just been formally established at its first Steering Committee meeting on March 4, 2010, and the funding for this work was newly appropriated to the Service in the FY 2010 budget. That appropriation came with mandatory performance measures, which effectively required the Service to move quickly and invest in priority projects that could begin immediately and produce deliverables on a tight schedule. Because the Service expected deliverables before October 1, 2010, proposals needed to be realistic about what could be completed within that short window. In practical terms, the Service strongly encouraged approaches that could be executed quickly, such as analyzing or reusing already-collected datasets, synthesizing findings from prior studies, producing decision-support tools based on existing information, or using other time-efficient strategies that did not depend on launching extensive new fieldwork.
Funding was expected to total at least $875,000 distributed across scientific projects under the Service's Climate Change Planning and Adaptive Science Capacity Program. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary and listed multiple possible funding instruments, including cooperative agreements, grants, procurement contracts, and "other" mechanisms, suggesting flexibility in how awards could be structured depending on the project and relationship needed between the Service and awardee. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). Importantly for budgeting, the announcement specified no cost sharing or matching requirement, making it more accessible to applicants who might not have non-federal funds available.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning proposals were open to essentially any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might have appeared in the full text of the announcement. The timeline was tight: the opportunity was posted and created on March 10, 2010, with a closing date of March 31, 2010, and an archive date of April 30, 2010. The short application window matched the program's emphasis on rapid obligation of funds and quick project startup.
Overall, the opportunity was designed to rapidly build applied science capacity for climate change-related conservation in the Great Plains by funding projects that produce management-relevant results quickly. While this specific FY 2010 solicitation emphasized speed and feasibility within months, it also signaled that future GPLCC funding rounds were expected to be better timed and could support longer projects, potentially including one or more field seasons and the collection of new data. For applicants needing assistance accessing the announcement, the listed contact was James Broska, Acting Regional Climate and Science Coordinator, reachable by phone at 505-248-6279.
